Now and Then
Great Hera, much ill-treated by your mate
most human of the gods and most abused
was it not natural that you should hate
the girls who kept your sovereign lord amused?
They hurl at you unmerited abuse
because you met his mistresses with strife
but those who take with joy the love of Zeus
should scarce expect affection from his wife.
